Where's antisemitism is illegal

Submitted ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩ by ⁨Babalugats@feddit.uk⁩ to ⁨showerthoughts@lemmy.world⁩

If anti-Semitism is illegal in so many countries, why aren’t more pro Israel/pro people arrested? They are the most anti-Semitic people on the planet.

Zionists become extremely angry when you point out that Arabs are Semites and therefore action against Palestinians is antisemitic. As they are insulting your grandmother, they will cry about how the word has always only meant action against Jews. It’s bullshit and your thought is correct here.

  You can thank the Nazis for that one.

You can easily paint any critic on Israel as antisemitism.

your argument is about etymology and meaning. I’m not defending anyone, but I’d say that it’s also wrong to have laws that point to actions against or for any race groups without also including a description of how does that description is applied in the context of the law. Meaning changes, language is fluid, and laws need to be updated.

  Not an argument, more of a ‘shower thought’…😉
  
  But ‘etymology and meaning’
  
  Well… Isn’t that the point?

I get where you’re coming from, and I don’t disagree with the overall position, but I don’t think this particular argument is logical.

  Actually it’s very logical. Here’s some Jewish people discussing this very topic, I just happened to watch this last night. youtu.be/evtMRyCWBo8

Anti-semitism=anti-Zionism. That’s always how it was meant, it cannot mean anything else because European so-called Jews (they’re mostly atheists, lol) are, well, European people. Ofc they always knew that but many people are easily confused by labels so there ya go. Very “war is peace” of them (“European invaders are the locals getting invaded”) but it was always a colonial project by the West which requires lies and false narratives to make the Westerners support it.
